Delhi Assembly Sets Monsoon Session to Table CAG Reports and Introduce Three Bills

The agenda signals tighter scrutiny of Delhi's finances, with potential changes to electricity open‑access rules and municipal governance.

Overview

  • The Business Advisory Committee unanimously finalised the legislative programme for the Monsoon Session scheduled for August 7–11, 2026, with sittings on August 7, 10 and 11.
  • Chief Minister Rekha Gupta is set to lay two Comptroller and Auditor General reports that cover the Delhi government's accounts for the year ending March 31, 2023 and the State Finance review for 2024–25, which will invite legislative scrutiny of the capital's finances.
  • Power Minister Ashish Sood will table a notification and corrigendum for the Delhi Electricity Regulatory Commission's (Terms and Conditions for Open Access) (Second Amendment) Regulations, 2026, a step that could change how large consumers and third‑party suppliers access the grid.
  • The Assembly will introduce the Delhi (Right of Citizen to Time Bound Delivery of Services) Bill, 2026 to replace the 2011 law and a Bill to amend a DUSIB provision governing urban shelter administration, both of which aim to reshape how city services and shelter programs are delivered.
  • Tourism Minister Kapil Mishra will introduce a Bill to repeal the 2007 Bed‑and‑Breakfast registration and regulation law, a move that completes a set of short‑stay and urban governance reforms being tabled alongside the finance and power items.
